Chapter 4:Burning Sands

"Oh, father, tell me. Do we get what we deserve?"

-Kaleo, "Way Down We Go"

Chapter 4 of MytheRP was the first chapter that took place in the ARK: Scorched Earth DLC. This was a shorter chapter, with some of the primary conflicts centering around four distinct factions. As the chapter developed, one of the primary conflicts centered around the question of who would join Sandspire in the resistance against the Warband, which was the best equipped settlement to defend against them. At least one battle took place between a settlement run by a band of brothers and the Warband while Sandspire itself vowed neutrality unless they or their allies had an act of Warband aggression committed against them. As the stormclouds of war brewed in the distance, eventually it was a union between Zel, the Warden of Sandspire and Immortan Boom that calmed the growing conflict and prevented a war that surely would have been ruinous for the entirety of the Burning Sands, though not all of the Immortan's followers were happy with this arrangement...
 * The Orcs, led by Mythok, the Breaker of Chains, settled first in the North and later built the settlement of Dunetusk in the far East. They quickly established themselves as a neutral party, able and willing to monitor other conflicts in the lands.
 * The Vampires in the central canyons, led by Queen Akosha, soon held the distinction of being exceptional wyvern breeders and milk runners.
 * The town of Sandspire in the deep south became a kind of central hub early on in the chapter. Named for the spires that soared above it, the town quickly established itself as a neutral and welcoming place. Led by Warden Zel, the town boasted an enormous wall which provided safety against the many dangers of the Scorched Earth.
 * The Warband led by the warleader Immortan Boom, provided the seat of conflict for much of the chapter. In their pursuit of bringing what they called "warband justice" to the land, many of the smaller communities felt oppressed by their tactics.
